Oliver Malin

Oliver Malin is a British artist. He was raised and educated in London, where he continues to work. After completing his A-Levels, he read business and film studies at Oxford Brookes University. After a debut solo show, he attended the Royal Drawing School and completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in drawing. His professional practice spans drawing, painting, film-making, and live visuals. Among his most notable painting series is "We Are Disposable", an ongoing series of paintings using crushed cans as a canvas, meant to document poignant "discovered" moments in a contemporary society. This project has taken him across the UK, Cuba and The USA. The first UK study is featured in full in a book on the series.
Other notable projects include the series "Take Away Dreams", which caught the attention of BBC London, Don't Panic The Evening Standard, London On The Inside, Culture Trip, Noctis Magazine, The Camden New Journal, and the cover of Le Cool Magazine. It was listed in the top three events in the whole of London by TimeOut on December 13, 2017.
As a filmmaker, Malin's main areas of focus have been music videos and documentaries. Noteworthy projects including his direction and production of "The Flowerpot Sessions", for Communion music which captured a week of folk music collaborations at the Flowerpot venue in Kentish Town, London.
He has made promo videos for artists such as Bella Figura, Nabila Iqibal, Bare Hunter Lovechilde, The Joker & The Thief, and The Big Pink. In late 2018, he started combining some of his ideological approaches and interests in absurdist/surrealist humour into short video form, which found marked popularity on Instagram.
